Manage Inventory Data

Upload and manage your inventory data so your reps can view accurate stock levels
and restock dates for each of your products in the Handshake app. By importing inventory
updates into Handshake, you can also provide your customers with access to the same
information when ordering through the Handshake Direct B2B eCommerce portal.

Access to accurate stock level and restock information helps reps confidently sell
stock down to zero, keep selling popular products that will be in-stock shortly, and
seamlessly shift to items with more availability.

In addition, your customers using Handshake Direct can make smart purchasing
decisions and improve planning with the full knowledge of when to expect delivery
of the products they need. Increasing their willingness to purchase immediately.

You can upload and manage your inventory data in two ways.

One option is using our bulk import tool, which allows you to upload a CSV of inventory
numbers and restock dates associated with each of your products. This upload will update
all your stock levels for immediate sync to your sales team.

The other (and most precise) way to manage your inventory data is using the
Handshake API
, providing a direct connection with your ERP software to give your reps
real-time inventory and replenishment data.

With updated inventory levels and restock dates you increase sales and improve customer
satisfaction by reducing the number of backorders and order cancellations.
